THE body believed to be that of the fifth Richards Bay-based KZN Sharks Board employee, Siyabonga Gabela, has been found.

It was seen late this afternoon (Saturday) by local fishermen off the pier at Alkantstrand.

NSRI Station 19 was notified and retrieved the body.

Gabela, along with four fellow crewmen, was last week carrying out routine shark net servicing when their boat capsized in rough seas.
